Listen to Two Mules Clip Clop Across a Railroad Bridge

Published May 21, 2024

This morning my mules Brick, Cracker and I tackled the first leg of our mule ramble. We plan to spend the next two days riding 30 miles up the Virginia Creeper Trail. It all started in front of an ancient locomotive.

Here are some photos and audio from the day you’ll enjoy.

Here’s what a very excited me sounded like moments after we crossed our first trestle bridge.
